The mountain road was rugged and it was impossible to ride a horse, so everyone put their luggage and belongings on the horses and led the horses slowly.
As a result, it will take longer to reach Iwaki.
Liu Yue Yingshuang was still leading the team at the front, and Liu Yue Qi followed at the back of the team. From time to time, senior brothers would come over to chat with him. After all, they had been together for a month and a half, and everyone was relatively familiar with them.
However, just as they were getting closer to Iwaki and could vaguely see a huge city at the end of the mountain range, Liu Yue Yingshuang, who was at the head of the team, suddenly stopped moving forward.
When everyone was confused, Liu Yueqi, who was at the end of the team, frowned and quietly activated the pseudo-phantom pupils.
The pseudo-phantom pupil is a name given by Liu Yueqi himself. The real phantom pupil requires the support of spiritual power or demonic power to open, but even without spiritual power, Liu Yueqi can see through many things with his strange eyes. This is what he calls
Pseudo-phantom pupil. Pseudo-phantom pupil does not require spiritual support. Liu Yue can open it at any time with a single thought.
The reason why he turned on the pseudo-phantom eyes was because he smelled the faint smell of blood in the air.
Everyone was very human, and after a while they also smelled the faint fishy smell, and all the disciples immediately became alert.
Liu Yue Yingshuang turned her horse's head, walked to Liu Yue Qi's side, and said to everyone: "There are dead people, please pay attention to safety!"
Then he turned to Liu Yueqi and whispered: "You are not allowed to leave my side!"
Regarding Liu Yue Yingshuang's obvious protection, Liu Yue Qi nodded seriously. After all, he had the worst fighting ability among everyone present.
After some searching, a trace of blood was finally found in a corner of the grass.
Faced with this situation, Kunlun, who was a righteous person in the world, could not ignore it. He patrolled along the bloodstains and finally found the body.
There were three corpses in total, two men and one woman, and they were still completely preserved. But judging from the degree of rigor mortis of the corpses, they had probably been dead for a day or two.
A man walked out of Kunlun and carefully inspected the body. He found that the fatal wound was a stab wound on the back. It didn't look like it was caused by a monster, but by mortals killing each other.
If there were no monks or monsters involved, then there would be no need for Kunlun to participate, and everyone suddenly lost interest.
But Liu Yueqi still noticed something. The deceased was dressed gorgeously, like a child of a wealthy family, and died in the mountains for no reason...
Liu Yueqi frowned, feeling that meeting a dead person before entering the city was not a good sign.
After meeting the dead man, everyone on the road behind felt a little heavier and no longer as active as before. It was not until they came all the way to the north gate of Iwaki that they felt relieved.
To the north of Iwaki is the endless Tiannan Mountains. The mountain roads are rugged and there are no decent official roads. If you want to go to the city in the north, you have to take a long way or cross the mountains, so basically no one goes this way.
The north entrance was deserted, but after entering the city, it became a bit lively.
"Xiao Qizi! Xiao Qizi! Don't say that Iwaki doesn't have your family's property. Just like in the past, small cities had restaurants run by your family. There must be some here too. Why don't you take your senior brothers to have a good meal soon?
Eating wild fruits and dry food every day in the mountains will make people sick..." Gongsun Ruan said impatiently after entering the city.
"I was thinking that you also eat the barbecue made by Xiao Qi, why do you only eat wild fruits and dry food every day?" At this time, another person suddenly spoke sarcastically: "You don't do business, you just think about eating and drinking every day, you
Don’t be embarrassed…”
This person's name is Song Yu, and he is also in the middle stage of the second realm.
When he was told this, Gongsun Lu also turned red, but he still retorted hard: "Song, why are you talking about this nonsense? Xiao Qizi and I are our brothers. The reason for inviting us to dinner is because of the deep relationship between us. You
You know what you’re doing..."
"Tch, how come we are our brothers? Why, you want to marry into Liuyue Mansion, even if you do, you still have to see if Senior Sister Shuang'er agrees, hahaha..."
As soon as he said this, everyone burst into laughter, and even Liu Yueqi on the side couldn't help laughing.
However, noticing the increasingly gloomy expression of Sister Shuang'er in front of the team, Liu Yueqi hurriedly coughed twice and said: "It's okay, it's okay... Since that one is here, I just happened to go to our restaurant to inspect, Senior Brother Gongsun, Senior Brother Song
There are other senior brothers, why don’t you go with me as a favor and save yourself the expense of staying in a hotel.”
"Did you hear me?" Gongsun Ru felt proud. He walked up and put his arm on Liu Yueqi's shoulders: "Hey! Xiao Qizi knows the general situation. I'll take a look at you. It's useless until I tell you lies next to you!"
"whispering sound!"
As expected, it elicited a burst of sighs.
Liu Yueqi has never been to Iwaki, but that doesn't stop him from knowing about the business his family has opened here.
The Liuyue family's ability to become a big family in Chujing depends not only on Chujing's Fushou Tower and Anxiang Tower. Although there are not many people in the family, there are restaurants opened by the Liuyue family in many cities in Chu State.
As the young master of the Liu Yue family, although Liu Yue Qi has no interest in taking care of it, he has a comprehensive understanding of the family industry.
For example, in Iwan City, an important town in the central part of Chujing region, there is a restaurant called Liuxuan Pavilion owned by his family.
But... although he knew that his restaurant was called Liuxuan Pavilion, it was his first time in Iwaki and he didn't know much about the location of his restaurant.
In desperation, I had no choice but to seek help from passers-by...
After a lot of twists and turns, Liu Yueqi finally led a group of Kunlun disciples to Liuxuan Pavilion.
The scale of Liuxuan Pavilion is no less than that of Anxiang Pavilion in Chu Jing. Liu Yueqi has seen many restaurants run by his family. Anxiang Pavilion and Liuxuan Pavilion are undoubtedly the two largest ones!
Liu Yueqi had doubts before. The Liuyue family was not prosperous, and there were very few relatives and friends in the family. There were only a few members of the family named Liuyue, and she had never met any other close relatives.
How did just a few people manage restaurants in various regions of Chu State?
Later I also learned that my third uncle Liu Yueqian played a big role in it!
The third uncle was considered a libertine. He had given favors to many people and had cultivated a group of loyal subordinates. These people usually helped manage the properties in various parts of the Chu Kingdom.
For example, the pavilion master of Liuxuan Pavilion, also the shopkeeper, is a member of Third Uncle. It is said that he received great favor from Third Uncle when he was young and is basically absolutely loyal to Liuyue Mansion. Otherwise, he would not be allowed to manage Liuxuan Pavilion.
Such an important place!
The owner of Liuxuan Pavilion, whose surname is Han and whose given name is Fu, is now over forty years old. In this huge city, it is impossible to build Liuxuan Pavilion into one of the best restaurants in the city without some real skills.
.
Not long after Liu Yueqi led the Kunlun disciples into Liuxuan Pavilion, a rather elegant middle-aged man walked over quickly. When he saw him, his face suddenly showed surprise: "Little... little master! It's really...
You! You see that you came unexpectedly without notifying me in advance, so that I could make arrangements to pick up the young master!"
It has been more than a month since Chu Gang's death. As for the series of bans issued by the Kyoto Prefecture, after an initial period of strict investigation, they are now much broader. Generally, no one will use this as an excuse.
Moreover, this place is far away from Chujing, and it takes several days to come and go. Naturally, fewer people will obey the instructions issued by the Kyoto Prefecture.
"Uncle Han, you're welcome!" Liu Yueqi declined with a smile: "I just have nothing to do and go out for fun. Uncle Han should not have to mobilize an army!"
To be honest, this was the first time he met Han Fu, but since he was so enthusiastic, he couldn't act very distant.
"By the way, Uncle Han, do you still know this person..." Liu Yueqi suddenly thought of something, turned around and pulled Sister Shuang'er behind him forward: "I heard from dad that you also stayed in Chujing for a long time.
, I don’t know if I still remember Sister Shuang’er!”
Han Fu patted his head and said suddenly: "Young Master! If you don't tell me, I really forgot. Isn't this the eldest master's daughter? Han Fu has met the eldest lady, but he just failed to recognize her. It is really a sin.
…”
Liu Yue Yingshuang frowned, as if she wasn't used to it, but she still followed Liu Yueqi's instructions to say hello to the old senior, and then said lightly: "Uncle Han, these are my friends, they have a long journey.
, we are already a little tired, please prepare some food for us before lunch!"
"Why should the eldest lady be so polite! Now that the eldest lady is here, the master and the young lady have the final say over this Liuxuan Pavilion! Wait a moment, young lady, I will make arrangements right now!"
"Also, prepare seven upper rooms for us. We may have to stay in Iwaki for a while!"
"Yes! Miss!"
After Han Fu left, Liu Yueqi had no choice but to look at the Kunlun Fairy who did not have the aura of fireworks.
The fairy glared at him while everyone was not paying attention, and then quickly returned to her cold look.
Liu Yueqi couldn't help but smile softly, and was about to lead everyone out of the back hall to find a private room to sit down, when she saw a man who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old and wearing white clothes hurriedly ran in!
"Dad! Dad! I'm back...who are you?"
This man was gorgeously dressed and handsome, like the young master of a certain mansion.
But he went to the back hall of Liuxuan Pavilion to call daddy?
Liu Yueqi immediately guessed the identity of this person.
As expected, after just a moment, Han Fu, who had just left, immediately left and returned, glaring at the man in white and scolding: "I told you not to yell here, so as not to offend the distinguished guests... Why don't you hurry up?"
Come here and see the young master!"
"Young Master...what Young Master?"
Liu Yueqi saw two big question marks appearing above the head of the man in white, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
The Kunlun disciples behind also watched this scene with great interest.
Obviously, this is the young master meeting the eldest master!
"This is the young master of our second master Liuyue, the eldest master of the Liuyue family! Why are you standing there so dumb? Hurry up and see the master!" Han Fu said anxiously.
"Oh~" The young man in white finally figured out the identity of the person in front of him, and suddenly drew a long tail.
"..."
oh?
"My lord, Han Yu, has met the eldest young master!"
